Your tolerance to stress

Geeky Gothic Guy

Just curious as to whether other peoples tolerances to stress have improved as they’ve gotten older, or got worse. I feel mines got worse. I’m also a lot less tolerant with things. Simple things seem to stress me out more than when I was younger. What’s everyone’s else’s experience with stress tolerance?

  • I think I've got worse, but then for many years I had "coping woman syndrome", where you just take on more and more or have more and more piled on you until you break. I think I've become less willing to tolerate things that stress me out too, or rather other people who stress me out, this maybe because I've become more assertive over the years.

    I've never worked well under pressure, people say that "everyone works well under pressure", I'd like to know who these people are and how they arrived at this conclusion? I think a lot of the time this idea comes from poorly organised people who then put thier lack of organisation onto others.
